Ponte Pedrinha

Ponte Pedrinha is the pen name of Henrique Borges, a writer born in East Timor. Forced to leave the island with his family after the Indonesian invasion of 1975, he settled in Portugal, where he wrote this novel at the end of the occupation, before the hope of a referendum arose. Isabel Moutinho places him, with Luís Cardoso, among the first two Timorese novelists writing in Portuguese, whose books appeared just before independence.
